To want to 'protect' a newborn from smokers?

[jonsnowssocks]

This is all theoretical atm, but am 8 months pregnant so will probably turn into an issue soon.

Lots of smokers amongst friends and family and I'm not sure how to handle them when it comes to visiting and holding the baby. Ideally, I'd ask anyone who has recently smoked to wash their hands, brush their teeth and change any smoky clothes before touching the little one, but would that make me just totally over-the-top precious about it? What would be a good compromise?

My dads a smoker and I just asked him not to smoke 40 mins before coming to see us he was ok with that 😀 everyone who visited washed and anti bacterialised their hands before holding him anyway it was the advice of the midwife/
Health visitors so I just told them that and they were happy to do that. Good luck with your birth and congratulations 😀😀
